Sue, the socket is able to pivot in a wing flapping mode,
but otherwise should be very tight in its fore Nd aft
retaining shoulders and they should be absolutely rigidly
fixed to the underlying wood & composite mount. It does
not sound entirely healthy from your description and I
would strongly advise you get an inspector to look at it
before you take to the air.
